Networking Nugget #30

I Can’t Hear You Because What I See Is Louder

We’ve been taught “never judge a book by its cover,” yet we do! It may be unfair to judge and evaluate someone in a matter of minutes––yet that is sometimes all we have. Although how we dress doesn't change how smart we are, or how thoughtful, it does affect other people’s opinions of us. Moreover, these opinions can affect our career advancement. Start to use your image as a tool.

How people are treated often depends on the first impression they give to others. Life is one constant change. World events, fashion, and ideas always change––so we must learn to embrace continual change. It is important to look at ourselves objectively and keep abreast of what is right and needs improvement about our appearance. We always feel better about ourselves when we make an effort to look our very best and communicate in a way that puts us in the best possible light. Continually build on your Executive Presence — the gravitas that some instinctively seem to possess.

Incorporate the 7 traits of Executive Presence:

  • Composure
  • Connection
  • Charisma
  • Confidence
  • Credibility
  • Clarity
  • Conciseness
